What is recorded here

Post-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c.1940, with raised 'P&T' cipher in Gaelic/Celtic Revival script above letter slot and curved top. Attached to telegraph pole adjacent to Kilcar junction.

An attractive, if simple, item of street furniture that represents an early surviving arti fact of mass-produced cast-iron ware. The various raised elements serve to enliven the artistic design quality of the composition, while the Gaelic/Celtic Revival-style script is of particular interest as a reminder of the promotion of a national identity following the establishment of the independent State.
